One of this poet's speakers looks at a "bronze memorial of a famous general" and hopes for sculptures
 of those who are "feeding people instead of butchering them" in the poem "Ready to Kill." He wrote that
 "sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come" in the title poem of his collection The People, Yes.
 Another poem notes that ten years from now passengers will "ask the conductor: What place is this?" and
 opens, "Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo." He wrote of "painted women under the gas
 lamps" and "laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle" in a poem that calls
 the title entity "Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat." For 10 points, name this
 American poet of "Grass" and "Chicago" who wrote a six-volume biography of Lincoln.
